SONS OF BITCHES AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

3 Episodes and they caved. "The Book of Daniel" is no more.
NBC should change their name to the "Jellyfish Channel". What happened to freedom of speech? What happened to creative freedom? I'll tell you what happened. These are just words that mean nothing unless the bible thumping, witch burning, gay bashing, jew hating, liberal loathing white rednecks all over this country say it doesn't offend them. Well you know what?
YOU CAN ALL GO FUCK YOURSELVES.
Yes I liked "The Book of Daniel". I thought it was a well written, intelligent and thought provoking show. Clearly these are all things that the the religious right doesn't like or understand. These people are so frightened of ideas not there own that they must shout all other thoughts down. So we burn witches, beat up homosexauls, burn down synagogues and keep women from voting or working. It definitely explains how President Pin head got elected (well stole) a second election.

Fear of new ideas is an epidemic below the mason dixon line as well as the "fly over states". READ A BOOK YOU MORONS (besides the bible). Oh I forgot, you have burned anything worth reading.

These are the same mental midgets who believe that "Intelligent Design" is a scientific theory. Well they do have a handful of Scientists who back that up. Of course they are good christians also so they will go directly to hell if they dissent.

You fuckers have co-opted my country and I am getting tired of it. Your time is coming. Your president has screwed up this country and world for the last 5 years and the backlash that is coming is going to suck the black velvet Jesus paintings right off your walls like an Atlantic City Hooker at closing time. You're not Americans. You're biggots, racists, homophobes, neophobes and any other phobe I can think of. Fear is way of life for you. Fear of strangers, fear of change fear of things you don't understand (which is just about everyhthing that has happened after 1776.) This country wasn't made for you. You just think it is. It's easy for our dim-witted president to shut out the rest of the world, but the world is watching, The USA has become a laughing stock in the international community and I am tired of it.

And NBC, I am finished with you also. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. ASHAMED. Ask yourself why people with intelligence watch more pay TV than Network. I am sure you will just fill the void with another reality show. Perhaps the religious right would approve of Jesus TV. ALL JESUS, All the Time.

NBC = National Bitch (of the Religious Right) Company.

I'm a Christian

and I personally thought the show was awesome.. I think those crazy I'm gonna blow up abortion clinic wanna be chrstians have no clue and are so high up that they can't see the show for what is was. It made me feel closer to God because I talk to God in prayer. I don't pretend to talk to God and pass judgement and then call it God's work.. It's very sad the world we live in today!!!!!!!!!!!

NBC

Hey its not synogues that are burning its churches. Five in the last week. They aren't black congregations but white. Its comments like yours that throw all Christians into the same basket that pushes that kind of hate. You see Christians can be hated and persecuted too. I'm sorry NBC didn't make you happy but Christians who didn't like the show had a right to complain. That's democracy and free speach in action. NBC had a right to ignore them. There were no threats of suicide bombers coming to the studio. THey were just afraid of losing money. Well shame on them not the patriotic citizens that just exercised their right of free speach. A right people like you would take away from them because only your opinion should be heard and obeyed. Well shame on you.

Re: NBC

Well Dr. John, free speech is free speech and when business is handcuffed by closed minded pinheads it forces them to make decisions that might be contrary to their integrity, that's the sin of capitalism. However, just because you and your kind don't like something you have no right to decide what I watch. You don't like it? Turn off the television. This isn't just expression of free speech and you know it. It is the attempt of the religious right to control what the rest of this country sees by "Terrorist tactics" of the monetary kind. This includes the Network affiliates who refused to broadcast it in the first place, thus depriving non-christians of their right to view the show. The religious right is very good at cloaking their objectives but at the end of the day they want to prescribe what I can see, hear and write. I don't care what they watch. The PTL CLub and that fat prick Fallwell preach closed mindedness from the pulpit on TV everyday, do I call for their removal from the airwaves? No, I am a grown up and I can change the channel. The religious right can't do that. They're not happy unless we are all "saved". Well you know what? I don't want to be saved. Save yourself and keep you hands off of my constitution.

Wow

All this anger over a silly TV show being cancelled. I hate to bring this up, but there is a little thing called ratings. If no one is watching... See that's the difference between Christians and Muslims. Christians just ignore you. It's much more effective, don't you think?

Re: Wow

Unfortunately, I think you missed the point. It's not anger over a silly TV Show being canceled. It's about how people who are intolerant want to decide what I can or cannot say, watch, read or hear. The Christians don't "ignore you". They use scare tactics and God to get what they want. If they just ignored it and changed the channel (like the rest of us do) then there wouldn't be a problem.
By the way, people were watching, and they liked it. Check out the official web site and the forum on there. There are many irate people expressing there opinions there. Pres. Shit for Brains has polarized this country and is trying to turn the clock back 50 years. Well it's not going to happen. There are going to be a whole lot of unhappy Rebublicans at mid-term elections.

Crazy Comments, Good Show

I only caught the first two episodes but I finally felt like a show was breaking ground on some subjects that needed to be talked about and were interesting. Most of telelvision all sucks ass and as for Mr Stupid Ass president, words can't describe my embarassment to be American right now. I can't totally agree with fieldingmellish but damn near it, I'm sure ratings had a lot to do with it. But that is simply a bi-product off Christians and other religious groups trying to boycot the show and not giving it a chance. Seems like those same people could focus their attention on the music industry where Eminem, Korn, and various similar "artists" get to say whatever the hell they want on records and you have to pay for them. Cable is as close to being free as things get in the US and I for one would like to see some "contraversial" shows stay on the air more than a week or two. I had no idea this was cancled already and frankly I am pissed off. This is a total crock of shit and I have no doubt that some Bush related Christian group pushed for this to happen. Christians need to realize something-you don't have to convert everyone, you aren't supossed to force your views on others, your job is not to change the world because your not prophets-They died a long time ago and no new book is being written about you! Just believe what you want and leave everyone else alone to believe what they want. If I wanted ideas cramed down my throught and brainwashing to be "normal" I would move to Iraq.

barking up the wrong tree

It's not about Christianity, at least not for me. I didn't want to watch "Book of Daniel" just because it looked like a lot of crap.
Which apparently the rest of America, except for you, thought as well.
Shows come and go. Sorry you're so torn up about it.

Re: barking up the wrong tree

You are wrong on a number of counts;
Firstly it wasn't crap. If you had bothered to read any of the reviews it was well reviewed and considered a critical success. It helps if you do your homework before you post your un-informed opinions.
Secondly, it was watched and enjoyed by many people. If you bothered to go to the NBC website, you could view the thousands of email messages they received asking them not to cancel the show. Unfortunately NBC doesn't care about it's viewers. Just the advertising revenue. As they know that pin heads like yourself will continue to watch Survivor Cincinnati and The Apprentice, they have no qualms about nixing quality in favor of mass market crap.

MAKE NO MISTAKE. For NBC it is all about money. And for the religious right it is all about imposing it's will on the rest of America and your bullshit response here does nothing to dispel that,

Re: barking up the wrong tree

It wasn't enjoyed by ENOUGH people - WHO exactly was their audience? Lefty church haters that can't even keep a much cheaper Air America solvent?

Believe me, if the ratings were there, NBC would televise beheadings.

IT's the marketplace, stupid.

'Many' people enjoyed it - ooohhhh! Sounds like taxpayer supported dreck to me - maybe PBS will pick it up!

Re: barking up the wrong tree

It's hard to accept any commentary from someone who can't sign their name. The only one who is stupid is you. It's the small minded reactionary right Christians who always drop back to PBS bashing. Thank you for holding up your end of the stereotype. Isn't it time for you to go pray or something?
